Asked by C.W
A worker pushes a stationary crate with 350 N of force to the right. A frictional force of 420 N acts to the left. What is the net force, and what does this mean for the crate's motion?
(1 point)
70 N to the right; the crate moves to the right.
70 N to the left; the crate does not move.
770 N to the left; the crate moves to the left.
0 N; the crate does not move.

0 N; the crate does not move.
Explanation: the crate is stationary, so static friction adjusts up to its maximum (420 N). Because the worker's 350 N push is less than that maximum, static friction equals 350 N to the left, giving net force 350 − 350 = 0 N and no motion.
